FAQ'S

Q. “Can I do the classes if I have an injury?”
A. Yes, these classes that are specifically designed to help treat injuries. In your initial assessment your Exercise Physiologist will assess your injury to determine what is the best course of treatment.

Q. “Can I do the classes and pay week to week?”
A. Unfortunately we only offer the classes on a fortnightly direct debit membership. There's no lock in contracts, no fees and you can cancel anytime with 2 weeks notice. We can even send you a reminder the day before payments come out. You can choose your preferred payment day and whether it comes out of your bank account or credit card.

Q. “How long before I can expect to see results”
A. In most cases you’ll start to feel better immediately – with the right exercises you’ll walk out feeling stronger than when you came in. After 8-12 weeks you will really start to notice the improvements in strength and function along with better managed pain. However lots of clients continue their classes ongoing because it helps keep them accountable and feeling strong.

​Q. “How regularly should I come in?”
A. This depends on your goals and how quickly you want to see results. Generally we recommend 2-3 classes per week for best results. If you can only make it to 1 class a week we'll make sure you've got exercises to do at home in between sessions.
